R
Can you build a second solar oven that will work more efficiently than the first one? R Is a homemade solar oven effective in locations where the atmospheric temperature is relatively low. R Comparing the Effectiveness of Reflective Material in Solar Ovens R What is the Effect of Magnification on Heat in a Solar Oven? S Which solar cooker works better: a box solar cooker or a funnel solar cooker? S Discover which shape of parabolic solar oven, between a trough and a cone, would reach a higher temperature quicker, and if insulation would make a difference in reaching higher temperatures R How to cook potatoes with the sun? R Do different interior designs of a solar oven affect its performance? S Construct and explain the operation of a solar furnace. R See if a solar furnace can generate temperatures hot enough to make glass, and to determine how different factors affect the maximum temperature. R Build a solar tracking device for a solar cooker. R Describe alternative energy sources and outline advantages and disadvantages of any source. R R S
